Flat earth is wild because at least conspiracies like big pharma holding back the real cures or the moon landinga were faked have someone who benefited from the conspiracy. No one benefits from flat earth like, at all.

Also the lady was getting weird answers from the pilots because thats the sort of questions a domestic terrorist would ask to determine which seat to bomb to ignite the fuel reserves.

It's amazing that 20 years ago you'd see video feed from the iss and everyone was stoked. Now if you pull up any iss video the comments are just like this is fake no stars no planes in the sky they never show the whole earth blah blah blah. People have absolutely lost their poo poo.

i very much doubt the ratio of these sorts of conspiracist people to non-conspiracists has increased much if at all, it's just that the internet lets them find each other more easily and they're emboldened to be more vocal by the community that's formed.

At this point I'm convinced conspiracy theories are basically the result of people thinking they're smarter than they actually are and the internet has helped them dunning-kruger themselves into all sorts of mental gymnastics.

I just watched the channel Oceanliner Designs debunking a theory that a dude wrote in the 90s about how Olympic had a collision with HMS Hawke in 1911 and the White Star Line decided to... swap it with Titanic, intentionally sink it and make bank on the insurance money.

Spoiler: The dude who wrote the theory is wrong about pretty much every detail other than the fact that the collision occurred.

It doesn't help that the mainstream media push conspiracy theories like russiagate, stolen elections (2016, 2020, etc.), havana syndrome, spy balloons, and various made up stories about countries in Eurasia.

Like we're all staring into the torment nexus daily these days and I can honestly understand the urge to just say "gently caress it, chemtrails and jewish space lasers are why I can't afford groceries or get a raise. It might as well be for all that I can change it." It's probably very freeing.

I wanna replace the O2 sensors on my passenger side and post-cat (the drivers side manifold one has been replaced cuz it broke) but man the passenger side requires taking the wheel well off and the post-cat is so seized I'm contemplating whether cutting the cable, disabling the truck and doing a bunch of touchy lube and hot work, or just paying a muffler shop to cut the pipe and put a new one on is a better option. I'm at ~7 hours over three years trying to break that post-cat with lube.

I feel that guys pain, cars are pain.

So many people posting good faith replies about how the wings are big enough to fit all that fuel, and her only response is "but it doesn't look like it in this one photo I found".

I think the pilots were nervous about her because someone that dense could throw off the weight and balance of a plane.

I'm sure I've seen some fine young gentlemen demonstrate proper use and maintenance of that large tool in one of the many educational films I watch regularly.
I'd like to add that adding a good wrap can reduce chafing while also providing a satisfying grip.
